New to this board, so bare with me…Are there other advisors out there that are experiencing problems with eMoney/Wealth Vision connections? The problem that I am having is that the client connections (maybe LPL Client Portal, Fidelity Net Benefits, Bank of America etc.) will go out in the connection console and we will have to update it manually almost everyday. Is this normal? I am confused and frustrated with this technology. Don’t get me wrong, I love the aggregation, but this is just too much. I almost feel that I was sold a bag of goods with this technology and it was one of the reasons that I moved to the independent side. Thanks for your time.

I’ve heard that the tech support people don’t take kindly to verbal abuse.



PS- You are a jerk

I’m using wealthvision and have not experienced that problem yet but then again I haven’t started to set up client’s outside accounts to be aggregated yet since most of their accounts are at LPL. What does LPL and/or eMoney say about your problem? I would imagine that if this was a known issue w/ eMoney/WV that we’d hear about it through the emoney support forums and/or through LPL reps who use it but maybe not?

I too have been having some issues.  I was told by Emoney that a new relases is cheduled for the first week of may that will fix these issues.   Let’s hope so.

  This is a great program with lots of potential, but kind of a big task to learn and implement.

Apparently there was some issue with the aggegation at the beginning of this week but I am told it has been resolved.

::bump:: Do any of you advisors using the street version of eMoney or LPL Advisors using the LPL-customized WealthVision have any new feedback regarding this program?

How complicated is it to set up the data aggregation function?  Have you had any problems with losing data feeds?

Do you charge your clients a fee for access to the WealthVision website and private client’s web pages?  Do any of you provide it to clients for free if they generate a certain level of revenue?  Have a certain level of assets?  Have you considered offering a fee waiver(say for a year) for clients who provide qualified referrals?

If you are charging a fee for the service, does LPL facilitate this, or did you have to establish an entirely new billing system?

I’ve never had the problems your describing.  Have you double checked with back-office to make sure you’re using the correct feeds? 

And as an aside, I’d be careful about charging for e-money.  A few of my colleagues have tried it, and they always tell me, “I can’t get anyone on e-money”.  It’s supposed to be a value added service.  Show your clients that you love them.

Not using it yet…just had heard on the grapevine about problems with data feeds being disrupted.  I don’t want to fall into the trap of becoming committed to dealing with the hassles of leasing and implementing a buggy product.  That’s why I asked.

Interesting comment you make as regards to the pitfalls of charging for client access to the service.  It sounds like it is a lot of work to implement it effectively.  The LPL folks who provide the training make an awfully good case for charging a fee for access to the service.  Do you offer it for free?  How long have you been working with it?  Do you have a staff member dedicated to implementation?  Have you seen your business grow as a result of offering the service?

Sorry for the flurry of questions.  Any thoughts you can offer are most welcome.

Has anyone addressed the issue of artist ownership of assets pulling through at 100% on the asset allocation section? We make extensive use of family partnerships and trusts but the asset allocation is worthless if we can’t get the system to only enter 20% of the FLP account or 1/3 of the family trust when trying to get an individual household global asset allocation. Help and guidance much appreciated! EMoneyNewUser
